Mu Qing, who was on a mission in the mortal realm with Pei Ming, is cursed and his soul is now stuck inside Pei Ming’s body. Convinced that no one will notice his absence from heaven, Mu Qing persuades a dubious Pei Ming (who absolutely knows this is going to end badly) to not tell anyone about the curse while they solve the issue themselves. And for the first time in his entire existence, Mu Qing now has a front row seat for watching Feng Xin and Xie Lian loose their shit over Mu Qing’s disappearance.

Thanks for the tag, @4typercent ! 😁
Share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics, then tag ten people! If you’ve written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway.
I haven’t done much writing lately and no longer write for one of the fandoms in my most recent ten, so here’s my most recent six!
~*~
Imparting (The Untamed/CQL)
“Jiujiu!”
“Stop shouting. And when did you abandon proper manners? Didn’t I teach you better than that?”
Jin Ling skidded to a halt next to where Jiang Wanyin was standing, hands behind his back and staring out over the river. So much for a bit of peace and quiet after an afternoon spent training a group of enthusiastic yet underwhelming young archers. Leveling his nephew with an unrelentingly stern, disapproving glower, he watched in satisfaction as the latter’s lip curled like he had eaten a bad lotus seed and he brought his arms up in a hurried but appropriate bow.
~*~
Kiss the God (TGCF)
“Why exactly are you coming to me for this instead of your goons?”
“I told you—He Xuan and Yin Yu have their jobs.”
“And you don’t think someone closer to your quarry would be of more use in this situation?”
“You know that useless trash he calls friends wouldn’t help. Not with this.”
“Indeed.”
“So? Will you do it, or do I have to kill you and find someone else?”
“Oh, I’ll do it. But you’ll owe me for this.”
“…Fine.”
~*~
Loyal Companions (TGCF)
Spending multiple lifetimes walking the earth had taught Xie Lian many things about the three realms and all the creatures that inhabited them. Despite that, it never ceased to amaze him that Mu Qing’s eyes somehow managed to remain lodged in his head when he seemed so desperate to roll them right out into the dirt.
~*~
Mixed Company (TGCF)
“He probably forgot to charge his phone. Again,” Feng Xin groused as he followed Mu Qing up the four goddamn flights of stairs leading to Xie Lian’s apartment. The latter huffed, his nose practically and predictably in the air.
“First the communication array, now this… Some things never change.”
~*~
A Promise Kept (TGCF)
“He’s here.”
Perfect, thought Hua Cheng without bothering to reply through his private communication array. It wasn’t as though his informant expected a response anyway. He didn’t warrant one either. There was far more important business to be conducted now that he could be sure that one Crown Prince of Xianle was indeed present at this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in the heavens.
Hua Cheng wished his god didn’t have to participate in such a farce. The useless trash up there did love dragging all and sundry into their boring, self-aggrandizing formalities, though, didn’t they? How disgusting.
~*~
A Steadfast Retainer (TGCF)
There was laughter and chatter on the Grand Avenue of Divine Might today. It wasn’t the kind or even impartial sort, though. Instead, it was the type that had once and was again pushing Feng Xin to the verge of violence: snickering and ridicule.
Targeted snickering and ridicule that made a long dormant beast within him stir in displeasure.
~*~
So…I actually haven’t recently talked to anybody who writes fics 😅 Uh… @glon-morski , you still out there? And anybody else who sees this can feel free!

okay another tgcf lb i powered through and finished book 1 this is kinda long its chapters 43-57
first off i love a lil spy mission. these things never go smooth
Tumblr media
naughty unlucky trespassers get banished to the giant leech chamber
dont know that i care for the inclusion of “scary savage redskinned cannibal tribe” i mean i guess i dont know maybe its got a different cultural context but i just have a hard time with that one hmmmm at least its over quickly
this really seems to be a book of everyone already knows everyone but that makes sense considering how fucking old everyone is
Tumblr media
dope. this whole little armory stand off was fun but also oh no!!! fire in ghost city!!!
Tumblr media
awww i love him. king of not wanting anyone to die :’( also hey he did something cool!!! very competent!!! although it looks like he did get hurt from it god his bad luck never ends
Tumblr media
yeah exactly!!!!! sword in one hand flower in the other!!! thats what its all about!!!!
Tumblr media
mmmmmmm. MMMMMMMMMM. rich fuckers. but also feng xin was the first to show up either way.... im still care him. followed by mu qing who is talking trash but still here as well
also i might back what i said about lang qianqiu im not sure if he knows anything i think he is just like that. although theres still room for him to be involved something. im switching most of my suspicions to wind master qingxuan now because he is popular and rich
Tumblr media
okay if im reading this right this seems pretty in character for lang qianqiu. “i dont like that your family is in power.” “haha what a silly guy :) i have no concerns about you”
but xie lian is admitting to this??? :O curious to find out more about if he did indeed do some slaughter or if he’s protecting someone else. if he is protecting someone i think it could be lang qianqiu himself in some way. genuinely unsure tho he may very well have just done this idk who am i to deny him complexity
theres that interesting little note that most officials have also committed similar crimes but never have to face it bc mortals just die
Tumblr media
pei ming you’re half right but shut the fuck up no one asked you. i feel strong dislike towards him sorry to any potential pei ming stans reading this. maybe im sorry maybe not im not sure yet i feel strongly about this
Tumblr media
i see this happen on cdramas all the time i love it. i point at you in lieu of words
i do think all the politics and gossip and the way that officials will change sides to gain favor/not lose it depending on which way the wind is blowing is pretty interesting i like that its in here
Tumblr media
i love that xie lian is making sure that someone takes care of the people hes taken in and also i love everything about this sentence although i feel like we’re not going to see much of banyue which is a shame bc i liked her
oh is it flashback time? this is fun
Tumblr media
hmm!!! interesting!!! i like this response!! i have nothing funny or smart to say about it i just like it
Tumblr media
this is an understanding that only comes after living through great pain and/or loss. hmm.
Tumblr media
hmmm!!!!!!!! questions!!! presumably thematic ones!!!
Tumblr media
please let us dig into whatever is going on in this little trio. actions speak louder than words mu qing
okay here we go feng xin is here and im not going to screencap the whole thiing but wow these two see each other and half a page later start swinging okay
oh my god hua cheng giving us a jailbreak arc? instant chaos. amazing
Tumblr media
scream everything about this is funny. maximum cunt behavior. everyones reaction fadsjflksdjlk;afsl
Tumblr media
mxtx: all characters other than hualian are straight mxtx: the thing feng xin is most afraid of is a women’s bath also women in general he is afraid of them fajkdjskfslda i mean there could be other reasons for this but its very funny in that context
Tumblr media
stop theyre too much faslfkjasdf im so glad we’re getting this
im not 100% sure how i feel about these swords that. moan? hmm.
Tumblr media
xie lian king of speaking out against stan culture. for real tho i feel like this makes sense with how young he was when he ascended and how much favor he gained only to be banished, as well as with how gods have to be what the people say that they are. this is made interesting bc xie lian is quite literally a god but this is still an issue!!
Tumblr media
this is more less what im currently envisioning on our little side trek except qi rong's vibes are so rancid im retching from behind the screen and im not getting to watch any little creatures dance so its objectively a worse time but at least xie lian is there
Tumblr media
reading this book full of immortals beat the shit out of each other is like watching looney toons
Tumblr media
hua cheng is relentless. also THE DRAMA. lang qianqiu youre back on the list!!! although i doubt any of this will be straightforward also i feel like im playing among us rn im dizzy
Tumblr media
hes awful and probably irredeemably so but hes also funny. imagine being qi rong youre just vibing rancidly in your cave and some fucker shows up using the name of a prince from 800 years ago and turns out its hua cheng and he slams your head into the floor over and dribbles it like a basketball until you lay the blame for said princes death and turns out that fucker youre blaming is also here and just as youre getting into it with him this other fucker says that youre lying and turns out its your cousin. wyd
Tumblr media
YES. CHOMPING AND VIOLENCE
bruh they melted qi rong
oh its a clone. okay. aww kind of sad that he once looked up to xie lian. maybe some sympathy for going mad. oh wait actually he was a spoiled and pampered prince? sympathy depleted again. tis a waste but. alas
wind master just told xie lian that he was lucky to have befriended hua cheng... and xie lian agreed.... interesting interesting
Tumblr media
noting that those two are notorious for clashing and yet jun wun is making them work together
i actually got teary at xie lian talking to his parents coffins and wondering for a second if he heard his mom. god. 800 years... :(
QI RONG IM GOING TO FIND YOUR ASHES MYSELF WTF this whole situation with the child sucks :/
oh my god thats where it ends??? wowie. okay damn i was going to take a break after i finished book one but god thats tempting

tgcf lb part 5 chapters 34 - 42 wow i keep cranking these out
okay i do care about feng xin. cranky but quietly forgiving debts. he was the one who stayed with xie lian in banishment for a while thats interesting
Tumblr media
lmao yeah thats for sure. secrets are funny. “dont tell xie lian i want his debt forgiven.” “no problem buddy he wont hear it from me ;)” i imagine this happens a lot. gossip in the heavenly court must be something else.
i think its cool that the officials can transform their appearances including gender presentation i think it would be boring to live for hundreds of years and never mess around with that if you could. not so sure that anything cool is going to happen with it wrt commentary on gender but that sure would be neat. considering how few major female characters are around im not really expecting much but idk its something
if they ever do a live action tgcf i hope they preserve its comedic nature and do it kind of like lingjian mountain with some sort of modern day fourth-wall breaking meta humor. some of the items and mechanisms essentially function as smartphones and i think it would be great if they leaned into how funny that is instead of making it super serious
spoiled rich boy seems to be quite a theme among mxtx characters i know but here with wind master qingxuan its being commented on interesting. i like him tho
the thing about the wind master and ling wen being more powerful when they appear as the gender that mortals worship them as is pretty interesting!! something kind of interesting is happening wrt commentary on gender!! will it continue? we shall see
Tumblr media
death becomes her 1992 again this is funny ghost humor is funny more please
Tumblr media
corpse bride 2005 GHOST CITY BABY. oh please more weird undead stuff please please i get it i get hua cheng now please
god i hate when im at the market with but my friend gets taken away for a ghost facial and im left all alone to deal with an extremely aggressive ghost prostitute but at least i was raised in abstinence so im chill about it
Tumblr media
ADKJLKFJLflkasjf . KLFJASLKFJSLF. LKFJLDKSAFJSLJK. no further comment at this time
actually no i kind of love that as an excuse to get out a situation. love in general that xie lian does not hold others opinions of him that highly love a protagonist who is not too proud. to be fair for 800 years i dont think hes been around anyone whos opinion he would need to care about long term. also i was afraid that hua cheng was going to show up and have to rescue xie lian from the eww nasty dead girl prostitute and im glad that didnt happen
Tumblr media
:Oc :Oc ^ thats xie lian and wind master. lang qianqiu was not wrong tho. dont be risking other peoples lives for your business smh
xie lian trying to bet on a low number and rolling high.... sorry beloved but you should have see that coming a mile away
this little dice shaking “teaching” scene is giving me hardcore dafan mountain flashbacks with hualian having a little moment while behind them theres an entire gambling den full of ghosts just watching them like. um. hello? guys? where is the violence?
Tumblr media
lang qianqiu jock i think. wind master long suffering friend
Tumblr media
that tumblr post thats like “no actually i dont want to fuck busty russian singles in my area” “i do. outta the way gayboy!” but xie lian and me respectively about the ghost city dancers
also love that hua cheng’s idea of pretending not to know xie lian involved personally calling him up to touch his hands for an extended period of time. i mean to be fair it worked but xie lian agrees with me on this so im right
Tumblr media
makes sense love it. to be fair if i was a heavenly official i would also come to ghost city to party it up. goth central as rey called it
bandaged boy..... :(
Tumblr media
i sincerely hope any adaption would include stuff like this and make it as funny as it is in my head
Tumblr media
essentially the equivalent of those little doorknob covers you use to babyproof a house fjadlkfjfasd
Tumblr media
hua cheng goth game hard af for having a sentient scimitar that can stare back at you
Tumblr media
xie lian closet goth for this one
hua cheng is able to lend out his luck.. interesting. this feels like something that has the potential to end up sad lets see if that happens or not
okay just gonna cut it here. i do like the relationship between hua cheng and xie lian they clearly like each other and find each other funny and interesting and thats nice to see. still not sure what was going on in that first meeting but im guess we’ll find out more and im sure ill have more thoughts as time goes on im not even done with book one
